Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Van der Waals bonds are weak attractive forces between the nucleus of one atom and the electrons of another atom close by.

Answer: C
 Hydrogen bonds are weak attractive forces between a hydrogen atom bonded to a strongly electronegative atom (such as nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine) and another nearby electronegative atom.

Answer: B and D
 Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, resulting in the attraction between oppositely charged ions. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between two atoms. Both ionic and covalent bonds are stronger than van der Waals and hydrogen bonds.
